I love that sign... We're going to Disneyland!
RIGHT! Quite the Manure Blizzard over that one! The fellow doing all the hollering was obviously educated beyond a mediocre intelligence and an expert pontificator!

Yes, and always eschew obfuscation!
Please
Thank you.
Words you hardly hear any more.
Also...
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
I was wrong.
I apologize.
There was a lot of creative character-naming in that movie! Two of my favorites were Bat Guano and Buck Turgeson...
Hereabouts and in points south it's "y'all"...or "youse"...depending upon one's culture.

You mean the thingy attached to the watchamacallit?
Or "Goodyears."
Jactitation

(jăk′tĭ-tā′shən)
n.
1. A false boasting or claim, especially one detrimental to the interests of another.

Watch the movie, "Inherit the Wind" and listen for this word.

Flivver - similar to "jalopy"
"Sam Hill" - only ever heard it from my grandfather
When these threads pop up, someone always complains about "no problem" instead of "you're welcome." I don't get the animosity for the expression. In many languages, the equivalent response to a thank you is "it's nothing" or "no problem." Disclaimer: I often say, "no worries", so I guess that makes me offensive to some.

I used to take off like Moody's Goose,
Flying high and running loose.
But I was younger then.

My brother-in-law was a great guy and I loved him like a brother. It always tickled me when he when on and on about how someone was "bolivious" about some situation or another. RIP, Unlce John.

And don't forget Gen. Jack Ripper and Premier Kissov. BTW, Maj. "King" Kong's primary nuclear target was the missile complex at La Puta.
Trying really hard not to hijack this thread...

In 1939, my parents drove from Chicago through the southern states for their honeymoon. They loved to tell the story of how a child approached them in Tennessee and asked them, "Are you'uns what we'uns call 'furriners'?"
